Rep Power: 5 | | | chi gong for beginners
I'd like to know some basic chi exercises. If i remember correct, my school teacthes some chi gong too, but it's later and not in this basic course i'm going and i'm intrested in starting it now. Also some basic information what i should know about it would be nice. I have been recently reading some stuff about chi from here and some books and i know, that it has some benefit/profit(or what ever was that word) and it improves one's healthy

Rep Power: 53 | | | qi-gong is a pretty broad term, what exactly are you looking for?

Jumping-Jacks, coordinated with your breathing. Toe-Touches/Windmills, coordinated with your breathing. Punches, coordianted with your breathing.
Before starting any qi gong work you should build a solid foundation, have a solid root, work on stancework, learn some of your forms, have patience as starting somethings before you are ready can be harmful, you asked for basic chi exercises and I suggested three, if you do them properly you will notice an effect on your chi, you will feel it circulate and build.

Rep Power: 13 | | | When to start...
It's interesting isn't it, the way that you often would learn some external style before you started the internal style/neigung. (I did it a bit different, doing yoga for years first, but it all has the same effect of conditioning the external body and also making sure that you are not just in it for the fantasy aspect...)
I've given up on trying to make my qi grow or anything like that. Yi (intention) is much more interesting to play with. If you are still here, learn your forms, then do standing. Boring? I hope not.

Rep Power: 100 | | | Basic chi is no great mystery it's in the breath. There is a basic trinity that is a rhythm in life and the breath is a key. 1. Breath goes into the body to start the harmonic process. 2. The harmonic process throughout the body of the three functions of breathing, digestion and circulation connecting all cells and furnishing their requirements. 3. The removal of toxins and the expelling of monoxide (mixtures).
This is what Taoist call the life elixir these steps are in every moment of life and are the total of life as the first thing a newborn does is take a breath, second life is lived and third the last thing a person does when they die is exhale. This is basic it is the funtional trinity. Basic Qigong or chi is really just a way of returning the focus to the prime funtion of nature in all of us.

Rep Power: 0 | | | Hello,
I'm practising every day zhan zhuang stands, I bought a lam Kam Chuen's book called the way of energy, and I'm doing what it says, now I'm doing standing posture called wuji for 15 minutes, after that I will start with a 20 minuts stand and after that I'll start with embracing the tree stand or mabu stand, and so on, my question is Is that a correct way? Thanx |

Rep Power: 220 | | This is a vid of Shaolin Yi Jin Jing, it's Chinese only so you can't get the instructions, but if you can find another source it's not hard to figure out what your qi direction should be with the movements, nor is it hard to see how to perform those same movements.
This is vid 1, click the link and it has the entire form in sections. HanFocus.com - KongFu Learning | |
